OTTAWA – Canada Post, the country’s No. 1 parcel company, today announced a strategic partnership with Shopify, the leading cloud-based, multichannel commerce platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses.

“By partnering with Canada Post, we’re extending our commitment to streamlining shipping and product delivery for over 21,000 merchants across Canada, so they can focus on other aspects of their business,” says Louis Kearns, Director of Product and Merchant Solutions at Shopify. “Merchants can now quickly buy and print discounted Canada Post shipping labels without ever leaving Shopify.”
